The bar should not be “does the machine understand” but rather, “can the machine be distinguished from a typical human by a test”

And further, for any test we choose we must ask ourselves, “do we expect our ability to discriminate between these two classes, man and machine, to go to zero as machine performance continues to improve”

If we believe that only continued performance improvements are needed to make AI indistinguishable then that means today we’re only talking about differences in quality rather than differences in kind.
